    The flow is `x' = -y - z`, `y' = x + a y + eta`, `z' = b + z (x - c)`, Eq. 13 of Cestnik and Martens, and the
    control follows `eta' = (-eta + rho xi) / tau` with white noise `xi`. The control is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
    process with the correlation time `tau` and the stationary variance `rho^2 / (2 tau)`. A control that varies
    slowly against the period of the flow sweeps it through the period doublings and chaotic bands of its
    bifurcation diagram.

    Args:
        x:
            The initial first coordinate.

        c:
            The threshold of the third coordinate's growth.

        tau:

    Returns:

class RateInteraction(Interaction):
    """Rate `rate(ns)` and noise `noise(ns) dW` added to the highest time derivative of a state of a target.

    On a state of order 1 the rate is its first derivative, and on a state of order `k` it adds to the `k`-th
    derivative, so rates on one state superpose. With a divisor `d` the rate and the noise are divided by `d`, the name
    of a state or parameter of the target, such as an inertia, a friction, or a capacitance, which backends can read.

    A rate, a noise, or a divisor function takes the namespace of the interaction, with the namespaces `target` and
    `sources` of the bound elements, the time `t`, and the symbols of the parameters a subclass declares. A number
    stands for a constant, and a number on a vector state applies to every component. The noise is a Wiener process per
    component and member by default, a process of a `WienerProcessSpec` to share or correlate it across states and
    members, or a fractional Brownian motion of a Hurst index.

    Args:
        label:
            The label of the interaction, unique among the parts of its system.

        target:
            The path of the element or group whose state the rate changes.

        state:
            The name of the state of the target that the rate changes.

        rate:
            A function of the namespace that returns the rate, or a number.

        sources:
            The paths of the elements or groups the rate and the noise read but do not change.

        noise:
            A function of the namespace that returns the amplitude of the noise, a number, or `None` for no noise.

        divisor:
            The name of the state or parameter of the target that divides the rate and the noise, a function of the
            namespace of the target that returns the divisor, such as a moment of inertia `m l^2`, or `None`.

        process:
            The Wiener processes that drive the noise, or `None` for one independent process per component and member.

        index:
            The process of `process` that drives the noise, or `None` for every process, one per component of a vector
            state.

        convention:
            The stochastic calculus of the noise, `'ito'`, `'stratonovich'`, or `'anti-ito'`.

        hurst:
            The Hurst index in `(0, 1)` of a fractional Brownian motion that drives the noise, a number or a function
            of the namespace that returns a parameter, or `None` for a Wiener process.

        conserved:
            Whether the noise is the divergence of a random flux on the links of the lattice of a field, so it keeps the
            total of the state.

    Raises:
        ValidationError:
            The state is not a name, a function is neither callable nor a number, the convention is unknown, the Hurst
